Instructions
Students and parents have reported to us difficulty using a mobile browser to purchase the permit, but that using a laptop or desktop has worked fine. We've reported the issue to our permit vendor so they may take steps to resolve the issue.
- Head to our parking permit purchase website
- Select "Continue as Guest"
- Select the correct permit type based on commuter/resident status
- If you are a commuter, regardless if you are first-year student, select commuter
- If you are a first-year student select first-year. (Your admission date was this year - class level based on high school college credits are not a factor.)
- If you live on campus and are not a first-year student, select Student North or Student South based on where you live. Only students living north of Oak Hill Ave may select Student North.
- Fill out the Permit Approval prompt
- OWU ID# is your nine digit student ID number
- First and last name must exactly match your given name to move forward in the purchase - the parking system is checking your student info against an Ohio Wesleyan database to allow you to purchase the permit.
- Example: If your given first name is Michael -- Mike will not work
- Example: If your last name is O'Malley -- OMalley won't work
- Enter vehicle information
- Enter payment information
- Submit -- you're done!
Ohio Wesleyan University Public Safety officials will process your permit request and deliver the permit to your campus mailbox.
